Interesting..Tony who is the investor? I remember years and years ago, a servicer had a per dime fee in their approvals to counter any requests for extensions. I've never seen one since. Is this investor related or Nationstar in general? Interesting they didn't disclose on their welcome letter. Nationstar just seems to find new ways to surprise distressed homeowners. I just wrapped up a few for FHA and Fannie investors and they didn't "charge" for the extensions. If they are the investor here I'd definitely report them and include the CFPB in that complaint list. This is crazy.

Nationstar now appears to be breaking some regulations and possible state laws They will only give you 1 extension if you require another one they will charge an extension fee . They then tell you if you do not agree to pay it then they will close your short sale and make you start over and route it back for another auction My specific file required release of IRS liens, 4 judgments, and a 2nd lien holder. Oh also they state that the extension fee is a per day amount, but, for example, if you ask for 3 weeks but close in 2 they will not credit back 1 week

I have been successful to have a couple of them pulled from Homesearch or not go to them at all. One was due to the condition of the property being severely damaged . The other was due to my contact with the VP and proved to him the benefit of not going to Homesearch. Also the main reason for this process is to determine if a higher offer can from the auction This is a result of agents submitting below value offers from investors. As far as the open house, I have never been required to prove that one was held

@Julie -- I have never had to hold an open house, although they have requested it. They cannot make you hold open houses. Sounds like you got some snippy control freak who had no business making those sorts of demands. The key to their process, far as I can tell, is to make sure your buyer registers. They will require your buyers' credit card number and some people object to that, but it will speed up the approval process if the buyer is in the system when the buyer wins the auction.

These comments on Nationstar sound a lot like what OCWEN was doing with forced HUBZU auctions, and several states shut them down. It might be worth seeing if they're violating the same laws. Illinois decided HUBZU was practicing real estate without a license.

Hi, I've only had one incident that Nationstar backed away from the auction and that was quite a few years ago. When a file does go into homesearch.com, as Elizabeth says there is a 5% premium added to the purchase amount. This turns away most buyers and if there was a buyer who's taking out a loan that won't pass muster. Nationstar gave us no option. What I found to also help is to be on top of the auction and don't give the rep any leeway when it comes to time tables or deadlines on their end. Make sure you know their turnaround time and if they allow the auction to occur once or re-occur over a period of time. I can't remember if it was Nationstar that kept the auction going for a certain amount of time. Ocwen did this too. But nevertheless just make sure you know how it works and don't give them one inch to not move the file forward once your file meets their ridiculous needs.
